Aspects of operator theory in hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces

We examine certain special features exhibited by various classes of linear operators acting in a hereditarily indecomposable Banach space. For instance, we show that the family of all Riesz operators in a H.I. space forms a closed, 2-sided ideal. We also give further characterizations of the class of scalar-type spectral operators (to those already given in [16]). The final section discusses some properties of the spectral maximal spaces of (necessarily decomposable) linear operators in such spaces.

The Capacity for Pseudomonotone Operators

We extend the definition of capacity to the case of pseudomonotone operators and study its main properties. The paper generalizes the results obtained by G. Dal Maso and I. V. Skrypnik to monotone operators.     

Type I operators and the approximation of singular two-point boundary value problems

A class of self adjoint operators associated with second order singular ordinary differential expressions, arises naturally when the problem is weakly formulated and integration by parts is performed. We call this class Type I operators. It turns out that this class can be successfully used to tackle numerical approximations of singular two-point boundary value problems. They can also be approximated by regular differential operators in a straightforward manner without having to bring the delicate structure of singular differential operators to the forefront of the investigation.     

Elliptic theory of differential edge operators I

Examples of edge operators include Laplacians on asymptotically flat and asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds. Edge operators also arise in boundary problems around higher condimension boundaries. This paper is concerned with the analysis of general elliptic edge operators with constant indicide roots. We determine when such an operator has a distributional asymptotic expansion. Conditions are given to guarantee that the coefficients of this expansion are smooth. In Part I of this paper we only study the case when the operator is semi-Fredholm. Part II will examine edge operators with infinite dimensional kernel and cokernel, as well as develop the theory of Poisson edge operators.

ASPECTS OF BOUNDED PERTURBATION THEORY

1. Abstract

This paper is concerned with the stability of certain properties of linear operators in locally convex topological vector spaces under perturbations by operators which are small in some sense. Section 3 deals with the very useful concept of Banach balls which was introduced by Ra?kov [9]. Some properties are discussed. The following section investigates the invertibility of certain operators generalizing results of Robert [10] and de Bruyn [2],[3]. These results are used extensively in the sequel. We go on to discuss Riesz operators. We obtain results stronger than those of de Bruyn [1] with regard to asymptotically quasi-compact operators in locally convex spaces. The proofs are basically adaptations of those from [1]. In the final section we observe some results concerning the range ad null space of an operator perturbed by bounded operators. We obtain a result very similar to an unproved theorem of Vladimirski? [a] and point out their differences. MOS codes 4601, 4710, 4745, 4768, 4755.

Full Fourier-Bessel transform and the algebra of singular pseudodifferential operators

The one-dimensional full Fourier-Bessel transform was introduced by I.A. Kipriyanov and V.V. Katrakhov on the basis of even and odd small (normalized) Bessel functions. We introduce a mixed full Fourier-Bessel transform and prove an inversion formula for it. Singular pseudodifferential operators are introduced on the basis of the mixed full Fourier-Bessel transform. This class of operators includes linear differential operators in which the singular Bessel operator and its (integer) powers or the derivative (only of the first order) of powers of the Bessel operator act in one of the directions. We suggest a method for constructing the asymptotic expansion of a product of such operators. We present the form of the adjoint singular pseudodifferential operator and show that the constructed algebra is, in a sense, a *-algebra.     

A representation of maximal monotone operators by closed convex functions and its impact on calculus rules

We introduce a new representation for maximal monotone operators. We relate it to previous representations given by Krauss, Fitzpatrick and Mart??nez-Legaz and Théra. We show its usefulness for the study of compositions and sums of maximal monotone operators. To cite this article: J.-P. Penot, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 338 (2004).

Differential operators for systems of linear partial differential equations

The aim of this paper is the representation of solutions of systems of formally hyperbolic differential equations of second order. I. N.Vekua gave a representation of the solutions using the Riemann-matrix-function. Here we introduce special differential operators which map holomorphic functions into the set of solutions. An existence theorem for such operators is proved which gives a necessary and sufficient condition on the coefficients of a system. These operators are represented explicitly and several properties of them are investigated. We give different representations of the solutions of such systems and discuss the relation between the integral operator method and the method using differential operators which leads to an explicit representation of the Riemann-matrix-function by means of the differential operators. Two examples of special systems with differential operators are given.     

On Ideal Operators

Let E, F be Archimedean Riesz spaces. We consider operators that map ideals of E to ideals of F and operators T for which, T ^–1 (I) is an ideal in E, for each ideal I in F. We study the properties of such operators and investigate their relation to disjointness preserving operators.

Remarks on the classification of a pair of commuting semilinear operators

Gelfand and Ponomarev [I.M. Gelfand, V.A. Ponomarev, Remarks on the classification of a pair of commuting linear transformations in a finite dimensional vector space, Funct. Anal. Appl. 3 (1969) 325–326] proved that the problem of classifying pairs of commuting linear operators contains the problem of classifying k-tuples of linear operators for any k. We prove an analogous statement for semilinear operators.

Invariance spectrale des algèbres d'opérateurs pseudodifférentiels

We construct and study several algebras of pseudodifferential operators that are closed under holomorphic functional calculus. This leads to a better understanding of the structure of inverses of elliptic pseudodifferential operators on certain non-compact manifolds. It also leads to decay properties for the solutions of these operators. To cite this article: R. Lauter et al., C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 334 (2002) 1095–1099.     

BANACH空间有界线性算子A~((2))_(T,S)的表示

In this paper we extends the results in [1],[2],[3] and [4] to bounded linear operators in Banach spaces using matrix expression of a partitioned operator. For existence of the limit lim λ→0 (λI + GA)~(-1) G and lim λ→0 G(λI + AG)~(-1) it is necessary and sufficient condition that bounded linear operators A~((2))_(T,S) exist in Banach spaces. We get the integral representation: A(2)_(T,S)=∫∞0 exp(-GAt)Gdt.

Common eigenfunctions of commuting differential operators of rank 2

Commuting differential operators of rank 2 are considered. With each pair of commuting operators a complex curve called the spectral curve is associated. The genus of this curve is called the genus of the commuting pair. The dimension of the space of common eigenfunctions is called the rank of the commuting operators. The case of rank 1 was studied by I. M. Krichever; there exist explicit expressions for the coefficients of commuting operators in terms of Riemann theta-functions. The case of rank 2 and genus 1 was considered and studied by S. P. Novikov and I.M. Krichever. All commuting operators of rank 3 and genus 1 were found by O. I. Mokhov. A. E. Mironov invented an effective method for constructing operators of rank 2 and genus greater than 1; by using this method, many diverse examples were constructed. Of special interest are commuting operators with polynomial coefficients, which are closely related to the Jacobian problem and many other problems. Common eigenfunctions of commuting operators with polynomial coefficients and smooth spectral curve are found explicitly in the present paper. This has not been done so far.     

Quasicrystals,aperiodic order,and groupoid von Neumann algebras

We introduce tight binding operators for quasicrystals that are parametrized by Delone sets. These operators can be regarded in a natural operator algebra framework that encodes the long range aperiodic order. This algebraic point of view allows us to study spectral theoretic properties. In particular, the integrated density of states of the tight binding operators is related to a canonical trace on the associated von Neumann algebra. To cite this article: D. Lenz, P. Stollmann, C.
